cactus flower
how lovely she is
beautiful blossom in bloom
sweetness in winter

It may seem like an impossible quest…to find a “glimmer” every day. I assure you it is not, if you’re looking, and paying attention. And that is the whole point of finding glimmers amidst the triggers that bombard us with stressful and worrisome challenges every day. Glimmers give us those brief moments of joy and awe, and dare I say, hope. It’s a lifeline, especially in today’s troubled world. Peace and glimmers to you!

Our 63+ year old Christmas Cactus that Denise inherited from her Mom didn’t bloom this year… might have something to do with Stella (our Maine Coon cat) tormenting it? It bloomed like crazy in Colorado and even in Georgia. The only place it bloomed in the apartment we lived in during my last call was the bathroom in the study. Of course we had to go in there to see it!
Love your blooms!

Wow! Ours has needed several repottings. I think it’s finally happy and wild looking at that! 😃 I heard that they are long lived. 63+ years is impressive! 🌹💚

Some call them a Christmas Cactus, others an Easter Cactus. Mine flowered both times of the year and I gave several cuttings to family which thrived. It was glorious! Love your poem Kat.

I think there is also a Thanksgiving cactus variety. After several years I am just so happy to see it bloom! ❤️

Mine was red, though I have seen others in pink and white. They are quite stunning.
